Alix Spencer, Duchess of Fina

Alix Spencer, Duchess of Fina (née Phipps) (6 June [O.S. 25 May] 1674 – 24 November 1719) was the Duchess of Fina as the spouse of William Spencer—the 19th Duke of Fina—from their marriage on 24 November 1710 until her death on 24 November 1719 while giving birth to the couple`s last child, Alfred Spencer. The eldest child and eldest daughter of William Phips and his wife, Mary Spencer Hull. The older adoptive sister of Spencer Phips—after both the death of Alix (his adoptive sister), and her husband—he traveled to England and brought his wife to raise his sister` children. Her many diaries, which depicted her life in startling detail, described her father as "moody" and "aggressive", while her mother was described as "overbearing" which annoyed the highly-independent and fearless Alix.

A favorite granddaughter of her maternal grandparents, Sir Malcom Phips and Gabriella Phips, Alix possessed a poor constitution and often sick.
